Disney and Counting

To me Disney is an amazing place! My mom has instilled a love for this magical land in me from a very young age and 26 years later I still got it! So when Ev proposed we try to get a way for a few days this summer of course I brought up Disney as a possible destination. He suggested Vegas, Cancun, or a Cruise. Disney was not on his radar as a pratical adult vacation.


So as I began to plan possible vacation venues it became clear that none of our ideas were budget friendly. So we decided to scratch the whole "going away" idea and revisited some Michigan favorites (Traverse City/Mackinaw/South Haven). I had a hard time getting into planning my Michigan summer adventure, mainly because I still had visions of Ev and I relaxing with drinks in hand and palm trees swaying in the breeze at the pool.



After a few days of internet searches for the best deal, I told Ev our proposed budget for our Traverse City vacation. I could tell 1.) he was suprised at the cost and 2.) he wasn't thrilled about it either. Frustrated that neither of us could get on board with our first real vacation together since our honeymoon, I was ready to scrap the whole thing!!! Then on a whim I decided to log onto my favorite travel site and search Disney vacation. I was shocked at how affordable it was. I told Ev in a "hey did you know" kinda way what I had found. Next thing I knew he took the computer from me and clicked Buy Tickets!!!! I was shocked and thrilled that my husband committed so quickly and made the decision for us.

In 30 days from now I will be boarding a plane with my amazing husband for a 5 day vacation in Florida. I can't wait!!!!! I am sooo excited to go to Disney with Ev, I'm just hoping he finds it as interesting as I do. Okay that may be a stretch. So I will settle for not bored to tears. (I think I sold him with the 11 nations food walk in Epcot!) Stay tuned for more Disney pics/stories when we get back!!!!
